Why did patients apply to this trial?

Would like to solve my sleep issues. I saw the ad on facebook and decided to try it.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have been diagnosed with idiopathic insomnia for over 30 years. I have been on numerous medications, tried Cognitive Behavior Therapy and hypnosis. When I go to sleep, wake up every 1.5 to 2 hours all night. I had 2 sleep studies years ago that ruled out sleep apnea, but showed I don't go into REM sleep. Nothing has helped. I am as exhausted when I wake up as I am when I go to sleep.
